As human beings, we are *almost* never satisfied with what we have. We may feel that we’re not good enough no matter what we accomplish😫 Or we feel too attached to something we love🤩 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲 are afflictive emotions we face daily. These named emotions may potentially lead us to breach the 5 precepts, such as taking what is not ours (stealing).

Ever wonder how to overcome these emotions or how to act according to the Buddhism teaching? Come and join us to get more insight on this topic! The session will be held on Tuesday, 8 February 2022, 7-9 PM at YIH Training Room 4!

Don’t forget to do the FET✅ and See you there! 👀🌿

How many times have we been thankful this year? Seems tough to answer, isn't it... Let’s alter this question. How often do you feel like you are not as good, wealthy, or pretty as other people?

That’s okay, we fully understand that humans are never satisfied. Hence, we wanted to dedicate this session for you to spend a little time to reflect on things you are grateful for! Let’s spend this Tuesday appreciating ourselves a little, should we?😉

One jar of gratitude that’s all it takes to live a happier life✨

**Session will be held on Tuesday, 15 February at YIH TR4 from 7-9 PM

And what we meant by dressing appropriately means:
- No skirts and shorts
- No revealing clothes

And for sitting appropriately:
- No pointing your feet towards the Buddha statue and the speakers

Thanks for reading and see you tmr! :))
